  1. Not really an option at the moment, i might do that in some time. I would probably try the Fan upgrade thing anyway, but hoped someone could advise if someone tried it already. There are a lot of NZXT 510 builds out there.
  2. I just recently bought that one and made the build so probably will not change it... Already feel some pain switching from Fractal Design Define r4 Black Pearl which i used in my previously build for 8 years. Probably should've stick with FD.. So looking on opinion for the fan change and potential improvement.
  3. I've made a new build about a month ago with NZXT 510i case and NZXT X53 AIO. That way i had 2 front intake 2x120mm fans, 1 exhaust at the back 120mm and 1 exhaust in the top, all NZXT fans provided with the case and the AIO. That was working pretty well and it was quite, really quite, and ran smoothly. That was good but! The one thing i had considerations for my setup was if i should get the overpriced Z series AIO with the screen or not, which i initially skipped because of the price, although there was a Amazon sale 50% the other week and i bought it- Z63 to replace it and sell the X53. I've done that and I've now got 2x140 mm intake with the same 2x120mm exhaust and think this is bugging the airflow. I've done builds before and i thought i may bug it, but anyway I went for it.. My PC become quite noisier and the CPU would easily get warmer and cause the fans to spin faster and louder. I'm thinking to switch the top exhaust fan with 140 mm one, as that's the only possibility to upgrade the cooling at this point, but i'm wondering if that would make a good improvement. Also would you recommend me getting the NZXT AER RGB 2 - 140mm fan, or a good Noctua without RGB would do better, and how much better. If that helps CPU is Ryzen 5 5600x, running on Asus ROG Strix X570-E motherboard with currently old 1080 TI GPU. Thanks in advance!
  4. You can find 3700x and 3800x nowadays on almost identical prices, hence thought to jump to 3800x, otherwise it doesn't make much sense really. I'm really happy with the V8 fan on my previous rig, although changed its fan with Noctua a few years ago. What would you recommend for this one?
  5. Budget (including currency): n/a Country: Bulgaria Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Games, some Video Editing, general usage Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Its been almost 8 years since I've made my last build and its time for a new one, but what a time! I've been an AMD fan-boy for a long time, which you can see from my current PC, here. My biggest achievement with it, i was able to get AMD memory delivered from the States, which wasn't available in Europe shortly after it was available on the market.. Long Story Short, I've got a project, a what of goggling, reviews, etc and almost made my mind... but then decide to wait a bit more to see what's to be presented, and of course black Friday, for the final bit of shopping. I've already got: - NZXT H510i case(new) - slightly used overkill of PSU Cooler Master V1200 Platinum, which I've used for a few months of mining and saved for the next build. - RAM: 2x 2x8GB G.Skill 16GTZRX PC3600 CL18(new) - Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500GB NVMe M.2(new) - Samsung 850 PRO 512GB (from the old rig) - Seagate 2TB (from the old rig) - Sapphire RX580 Nitro+ SE (from the old rig) Here comes the wondering.. I've been looking to get the following but also currently considering the ones on the right: MB - ASUS ROG Strix B550-E <-> ASUS ROG Strix B550-XE - value/price depending CPU - AMD Ryzen 7 3800x <-> AMD Ryzen 7 5800x / Ryzen 5 3600X - value/price depending Cooler - NZXT Kraken X63 280mm - like the view, generally seems fine Also planning to upgrade the video, probably later(depends on availability) with either Rog Strix 3070, or something decent from Radeon if they come up with sth relevant. And of course a proper monitor, looking at LG 27GL850-B. Happy to hear comments on the remaining bit - MB / CPU / Cooler / Video / Monitor, where of course, we can't really tell for the components that are to be released yet. I'm looking to complete my shopping for MB, CPU and cooler by Black Friday at last. Video and monitor can't wait, but I wouldn't really wait more for the core bit.
